| Stuw-repetition for her and patience for you-it will come! Don't know if you have ever gone and gotten the bumper yourself after she breaks-making her sit and watch you the whole time-makes quite an impression. Nice that she has such drive and desire. Enjoy the journey! |

Wldfbio, Awesome, thank you very much. Looks very simple to make. I will be making one soon. What kind of range are you getting out of your electronics?

I used to use the 433Mhz stuff and the 27Mhz stuff, but had difficulties with the receivers maintaining the remote codes (they are electronically set). I now use the FM stuff. The frequency coding is via dipswitch. It's the FMR 204-12. Range will vary based on terrain and nearby electrical interference. But, 100-250 yards should be expected if you have the 1m long antenna vertical (for this it's nice to have that alligator clip/flagging, so you can clip the antenna wire to some tall brush.
One point of safety. Don't cock the launcher while you stand in front of it. I've watched several buddies start to do it and have to point out how much pain would be involved taking a launcher dummy to the chest from 3 feet. |

Cut the grip off, but leave the white spacers. Add a little tape to the handle to make it fit snug in the copper. |

Come on out Stu, you can definetly shoot one of my pheasants for me, but you have to let me scare the heck out of it first. Which litter were you getting a pup out of again? I'll let you know when pick up day is.
